The County Seat.
,om the Chronicle. March 9th, 1887:

From the Chronicle, Mafcn -3th, tro''
Mr.. Elisa Morcom, who for
several years has been engaged as
clerk in the Dodgeyille postoiiice,
took a trip last week to Tower,
Mimi, to look up business location.
MIoHEAL McGRANE, Of Dodge
vile, an unmarried man and totally
deaf, who several years ago seemed
TO be possessed Of competence for
his support, has lately conceived the
idea that he has been WrOnged by
some parties, and at every session
of the court comes up promptly
to have his grievances redressed.
He became so loud and bOisterous
in the court room during a recess
last Wednesday that be was re-
moved to the county asylum. His
resistance TO the officers who cap
tured him was so orderly and we'll
timed, pugniS et caicibls, that he
provoked a stream Of gore from the
face OF one Of the officers, and they
were obliged to employ manacles to
convince him Of the omnipotence Of
the law. Mr. McGrane is an inno-
cent and harmless citizen when
divorced from his hallucination, but
the converting of court never fails
TO revive and intestify it.
From the Sun Of the same date:
A party of about ten of our
citizens left on Monday for trip
to the iron region on Lake Superior.
Some were young men who were
going there 10 seek employment in
that colorado Of the north.
WE made a trip to Mineral Point
this week whore we met many Of
our friends and neighbors Of former
days The city presents its usual
tidy and thrifty appearance. Al
though il has suffered much from
tho construction Of the railroad run

its limits which more than com
peusates for the loss mentioned.

SAMOA'S EXCITEMENT.
A Collision Reported Between
American Sailors and Germans.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-The
steamer Mariposa, which arrived yes
terday, brought adviceS from Samoa to
Nov. IA. The Apia correspondent of
the Sydney Morning Herald states that
the SamOans are becoming more keenly
alive to the fact that the party repre-
sented by the new king, Tamesas, has
been made use of merely to serve the
policy of the Germans. The whole plan
of foreign interference, as represented
by the German plan of oppOsitionS, is
steadily raising strong operation.
Within fortnight after the the assem-
bling of parliament there were increased
rumors of dissatisfaction of the chiefs.
The meeting of the legislature did not
include all the most influential men of
the islands, and it is understood that
numbers of those who attended have Sc
ceded from the government. The arrival
of the United States man-ofwar Adams,
Oct. 10, was the occasion of much re-
joicing to many i'm Apia. The men were
not permitted to leave the snip, because
of the presence of German guards and
SentrieS along the beach, and the posi-
bility of a conflict taking place. Soon
after the Adams arrival a number of
natives under Ash, the fighting chief,
visited the vessel and, after inspection,
the Samoans assembled on the upper
deck and held dance. The CORE
spondent states that the Germans have
expressed their annoyance at this cir
cumstance, and the natives have been
virtually prohibited from giving any
more such entertainments. A collision
is reported to have taken place between
American sailors and a German on the
street. The officer jostled sailor, who
knocked him down.

it is not difficult to foresee how it will
end. In extreme cases strikes are lusti-
fable. but they should only be reserted
to after every other means has failed.
Even then their wisdom is doubtful.

men are just, but they should have
sought to bring the corporation to their
way of thinking by less heroic meas
ures. Unless the spirit of fair
ness is dead, they could i'll all
probability have effected a compromise
on basis which, even if it gave them
less than that which they consider
rightfully their due, would have been
preferable to a greater OF less period of
idleness and consequent suffering.

How A Boy Got Off.

Blackwond's Magazine.
A boy named by the monitor was or
dered to island out" He took his place
clear of the desks in the gangway of the
school, and, with the certainty of pun
ishment hanging over him, had to wait
there until file of takers had been
collected. when the law of the con-
demned had become somewhat long
and when there was pause III the Oc-
eupatlon of the autoerat, the Christening
began. For this offence the sentence
mostly took effect OH the palms of the
hands, and the two strings, one of cuI-
prits coming up to the ordeal, the other
of victims with quivering hands tucked
under their arms, and bowling, grooming.
or with difficulty depressing their emo
ton as they wound their way back to
their seats, might possibly have been
objects replete with interest to a student
of human nature, but were too common
to excite much attention among us. There
was one little imp, as | remember. who
used skillfully to skip across from the
advancing to the retreating column, hug
his hands, and howl as if he had been
Smitten, and so to get back unScathed to
his place. 1t was a dangerous trick, the
penalty of which, if it had been de-
tected | dare not contemplate. [ know

1T WILL INCREASE,

The death of eX-SecretaFy DANIEL
MANNING was serious loss to the
Democratic party, but it is an erroneous
impression to suppose that the loss is
irreparable. Mr.. MANNING was con-
spicuOus for his fidelity to his party,
and his ability as a party organizer has
never been OvereStimated. Thro ugh
all the years that he stood at the head
of the Democratic organization in the
state of New York, he exhibited most
mastery qualities of leadership, and his
management of the CLEVELAND cam
paign in 1884 was conceded to
be one of the most brilliant
political triumphs in the history of
the country. So intimately has Mr..
MANNENG's name been connected
with Democratic success in New York
for the last decade or two, that some
people have imagined that Democratic
success was solely dependent on his
efforts, and that consequently his death
would result disastrously to Democratic
prospects next year. The error of sech
an opinion is apparent when We look
back to the results of the last two state
elections in New YOrk-the election
when HILL defeated DAVENPORT for
COVE rnOr, and later on, when COOPER
triumphed over FRED GRANT in the
contest for the Office of secretary
of state. In all the hotly con-
tested elections in New York the
Democrats never won more decided or
brilliant victories than on these two Oc-
casiens, and yet Mr.. MANNING did not
figure in either of them. The condition
of his health not only forbade an active
participation in either of these Strug
giles, but absolutely prevented him from
acting in the capacity of adviser or
counselor to his party. He was as
much out of politics then as if he had
been dead.
1t is not necessary to underestimate
Mr.. MANNING's ability as party leader
nor to disparage the value of his
services as organizer in the past
to say that his death will not in any
way imperil Democratic success in the
future. In the first place, the Demo-
cratic party is too much a party of the
people to be dependent on the efforts of
any one man or of any set of men for
success. 1t could win on principle
without leadership. But so far as the
services of good organizers are needed,
there are plenty of them left, and they
are nowhere more plentiful than in New
York. So long as men like DAVID B.
HILL and WILLIAM c. WHITNEY
and ABRAM HEWITT are at the
Democratic helm in New York there
is no danger OF the party going to
wreck for lack of capable leadership.
They were the associates of Mr.. MAN
MING in party management, and any
one of them is worthy to wear his
mantle. None regret the great mans
death more than his late associates, but
| the effect of his death upon them will
be to nerve them to renewed eXertions,
and instead of there being a falling off
| in the Democratic vote in New York
next year, it is safe to predict that the
Democratic candidate for president will
carry the state by the largest majority
| that a Democratic candidate for the
presidency has ever carried it. Mark
the prediction.

Origin of the Word "Bock."

London Modern Society.
The word ''boek," which is to be BAN
ished from all patriotic French bills of
fare because of it's German origin, has a
comical derivation, 1t was at Munich
that first it came into vogue, during
Louis's eccentric reign. and the sway
of that notorious cOurtesan, Lola Mon
tez, over the doing of the Bavarian
court. The King had opened large
brewery one day and tested freely of
the good Bavarian beer of the establish
ment. Coming out after the function
was over. the sovereign was trifie un-
steady on his legs-from fatifiue, let us
say. and qualification at the reception
he had met with from his loyal subjects
of the brew-house, A goat was gambol-
ing aroung just outside, and as his Ma
jesty essayed to walktO his carriage the
goat and heeOllided and Louis measured
his length on the ground, to the unspeak-
able terror of the spectators. His Ma
jesty was picked up and busted and
comforted, and the unruly goat took to
its heels in alright, like the unblessed
quadruped in the Pentateueh, immor-
taliZed by the brush of Holman Hunt.
But from that hour a glass of Bavarian
beer went by the sObriquet of a''bock,"
which is the German word for he-goat.

GLADSTONEs MOVEMENTS.
He Will Speak at Dover, Going
Thence to Italy.

InenCe 10 Itdiy.
Copyright Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-Mr. Gladstone will
make another attempt to keep the
masses moving in solid phalanx against
coercion on Tuesday, when he will
speak at Dover. On Wednesday he will
take the the Calais steamer and begin
his trip to Italy, where he will remain
until February. The English politicians
are thrown into great futter by Prince
Bismarek's attempts to draw from Lord
Salisbury a definite pledge to support
the triple alliance, and are feverishly
anxious to learn to what extent the
premier has committed the country in
that direction. The interview which
took place on Friday between Lord
Salisbury and Count Won Hatzfeldt, the
German ambassador, was obviously of
so important character that the latter
felt impelled to report personally to the
German chancellor, and he started inn
mediately for Friedrichsruhe to confer
with his chief. Thus far no intimatiOn
has been given by any member of the
ministry of the
NATURE OF THE CONFERENCE
between Lord Salisbury and the Ger
man ambassador, and it is matter of
doubt whether any one OF them is in
possession of more definite information
than the general public. The neglect of
the Turkish government to convert the
Turkish Ira, or gold medjidie-a coin
of the value of about S4.50-into frae-
tional money has caused a very heavy
depreciation in silver and precipitated
state of affairs verging upon panic in
Constantinople. The proverbial pro-
-
i'm pushing forward reforms has been
conspicuously eXemplified in this case,
and the ministry is now confronted with
the necessity of doing Immediately
what should have been done long ago.
A cabinet council was hastily summoned
yesterday and decision was reached
with little delay, to begin at once the
work of coming small silver pieces, to be
issued in redemption of the medjidie.

He was accompanied by his brother,
Alderman John Hamline, who is said
to have brought him from New Orleans.
No explanation of the sudden dis

timation that the missing man may
have been temporarily insane. His

now and will be at his business to-mor-

THE PROMISE FULFILLED.

The GLOBE made a promise, IN an
announcement in Saturdays issue, that
its Christmas number would surpaSs
any of its past efforts in that line, and
be far superior, both in typographical
appearance and general thOroughness
and excellence, to any of its cOntem-
poraries. When the promise was made
the GLOBE knew what it was talking
ABOUT, and it was done with perfect
confidence. The editions of the several
papers have been issued, and the pub
lie have had a chance to make
UP their verdict. The GLOBE is
willing that the people shall decide
whether its promise has been fulfilled.
Tie handsome cover, the bright and
interesting reading matter, the elaborate
and effective illustrations, the size OF
the paper-thirty-si pages-the clean
typography; all contributed to make it
one of the finest Christmas numbers
printed in the United States by any of
the leading daily papers. 1t was a gem
in every way-not heavy compendium
of dry figures and statistics and dreary
essays, but crisp, fresh, novel, attract
i've. No part of the business in
terests of st. Paul and Min
neapolis was neglected. Every
industry and public department
received its due share of attention. The
GLOBE saw that this feature was fully
covered before any other steps were
taken, and then it laid the plans for a
model Christmas number. That it
pleased the public is attested by the
enormous sales. Fifty thousand papers,
the largest number ever printed in
st. Paul, were issued, and the
supply will not be equal to
the demand. There was a rush for
GLOBES everywhere, and orders from
outside towns came in rapidly. These
orders continue, and there does not seem
to be any likelihood that they will stop
very soon. 1t is grand testimonial of
the appreciation by the public of the
GLOBES efforts to give them model
Christmas number-the best issue-and
evidence of the fact that they believe
the GLOBES promise has been fulfilled.
